Updated: May 5


(my videos from this travel)

 

Details

Google Maps --- Duration 2-4HR

-Banias is an amazing place. There are 3 parts to Banias. 1) Nature. In the beginning, you walk along streams and waterfalls. 2) Ruins. Then you get to the ruins of the Roman city of Caesarea Philippi. 3) Views. Then there is the mountain, with amazing views!

-The mountain face at the end of the park was used as a place of idol worship from the Hellenistic era through the Roman era. However, you can go around it to get some insane views!


History

-Caesarea Philippi was built by Herod's son 2000 years ago, with a good amount of archeology remaining.
